@Daeus ooh, good point.

@Daeus oh yeah… didn’t think of the address or shipping bit. Hm.
And YES. About the emails— totally. And you’ve succeeded; I love it when I get one of your official emails because it’s usually hilarious. *grins*

@Daeus for others directly… I think oftentimes it just surprises people when you remember them personally in a sea of other voices. Initiating contact instead of just responding, reviving an old joke, or maybe even remembering their birthday and surprising them. (*gulp* I barely remember my own… 😛 ) In other words letting them know that…[Read more]

@majerot Wow–that’s an impressive collection of work there! Also, that list of favorite authors is awesome. I can see many of my own favorites also there–particularly Dostoevsky. ^_^ My favorite of his is probably Brothers Karamazov; how about yourself?

@Majerot *shields you from potential assault with her dragon-wings* That’s okay. 😉 I get it.
Can I share one of my favorite Tolkien poems with you though?
Thanks. *grins* ‘Preciate the permission. XD

“I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been

Of yellow leaves and g…

@Salome01w4g eh… I stand corrected. ;P

@That_Writer_Girl_99 afraid not. 🙁 We just got back from a conference and once again I have a lot of work to catch up on. I might be caught up by tomorrow night. We’ll see. You doing okay?

@GracieGirl *sniffs* I’m late and now they’ve said everything… *sobs*

One tip though— it is possible (maybe even advisable) to focus only on one aspect of Christ instead of trying to incapsulate everything He is. For instance, you could choose to focus on Christ the Servant. Or Christ the Judge. Or Christ the Outcast. Or Christ the Teacher.…[Read more]

The GIF on the last page was really funny, since @kate-flournoy does look like a terrible terror [at least in her picture].

@Catwing Iiiiii’m late to the party but me? A terrible terror? *demurely folds claws**smiles**with lots of long sharp teeth* Me?? Whatever can you mean?

And… no. I didn’t know that. Frankly I’m not even sure I knew how…[Read more]

@Shannon UGH. *shivers* Brings back very… uh… questionably pleasant memories. 😛

@salome01w4g ehehehe… XD I know. It’s one of the weirdest most useless talents ever, but it is a lot of fun. 😛

@Joy sure thing.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 fun fact… uhhh… I’m also something of a mimic, with voices, yes, but more with faces. And I’m notorious in my family for being able to lie with a straight face. *cough* I mean… trick people, not lie. *nods* Yeah. That. XD I just have a lot of fun with my face and playing around with people that way. 😉
Favorite hobby…[Read more]

Welcome to KP @majerot! We need more poets on here. 😉 I can’t claim to be a fan of Emily Dickinson, but I love poetry. Mostly Tolkien’s. Have you read any of his?

@Joy yep. What they said, pretty much. I’m just going to add one more thing, and it’s kinda tough… excuse me ahead of time. 😛

It’s simple. Stop avoiding writing and just write. I know that sounds so callous and oversimple, but it’s so easy to put it off and put it off, and fool yourself (guilty!) into thinking you’re doing something about it…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 I will keep that in mind! And I’m very glad to hear that. KP has been a great encouragement to me for many years and I’m incredibly grateful to be able to serve the community in this role.

Hey @salome01w4g! Couple recommendations! First, like @that_writer_girl_99 said, I’d recommend creating a file for all your characters where you record information like that. That makes it really easy to check and make sure you’re not contradicting yourself. 🙂

Second, on the whole deleting words issue, while I know that not getting to a certain…[Read more]

Hey @majerot; welcome to the site! What kind of poetry do you write? Form or free-verse?

@daeus Holy cow; these are awesome. 😀
